THE FILM AND TV LANGUAGE
Wed 6 Nov, 2024

Do you know that, there is different(s) language for both Television and film production?
Without wasting time, let's get to it.

The sole purpose of any language is to tell something. Style, rhythm, the beauty of word arrangements, may be developed artistically; still, the language is never self-sufficient, but remains in the service of what is told.

Thus, the motion picture language must not be judged by its aesthetic values alone, but by the service it renders to the story. The motion picture language is not the ultimate goal – instead, the story is our ultimate goal.

The best use of the motion picture language is not the one that plays artistically with what the picture means, but the one that tells the content in the best possible way, all other efforts can be compared to the senseless though interesting sounding combination of words or to the babbling of an idiot whose words do not make sense and consequently is no language.
We shall investigate the motion picture language from the point of view of its expressiveness.

In the perfect fulfillment of its duty lies its beauty.
